On the way up the mountain, Liang Lidong also saw several patrol teams. These people were wearing light but not bad leather armor. Holding a crossbow. ●⌒In the game "Flander Continent", the one-handed mace has almost become the standard equipment for human infantry. This weapon is easy to manufacture, not easy to damage, and it is extremely powerful. No matter what type of armor it encounters, one hammer If you go down, there will be a reaction, unlike long sword weapons, if it is not a magic weapon, without weapon specialization skills, if you touch a steel can, and you go down with a sword, the only thing that will break is the long sword itself.
The hand crossbow is a rather expensive long-range weapon. It costs a lot to equip several such patrol teams, but it can also be seen that Uther's defense of the gold mine is quite strong.
At the entrance of the mine, there are still more than 100 guards here. The equipment is better than that of the patrols. They even built towers and small bunkers near the entrance of the cave, which is completely militarized. Such a garrison force, if there is no organization ready to militarize, it will be difficult to sustain. Of course, it would be another matter if a special organization with hundreds or even thousands of professionals could be called up casually like the Players Guild.
As soon as they walked near the mine, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper came over with a booklet. Uther looked at it for a while, and then said: "Let Peter bring the other booklet, and we will check it routinely." one time."
The middle-aged butler took the order to leave. At this time, the wife of the city lord approached Liang Lidong and asked, "Your Excellency Beta, what do you think of this guard arrangement? Is there anything that needs to be changed?"
Liang Lidong shook his head: "No need, there is no better defensive force than this. Besides, I'm not good at leading troops to fight, so it doesn't make much sense for you to ask my opinion?"
"Really?" The city lord's wife nodded noncommittally: "However, Your Excellency gave me a feeling that not only do you know how to lead troops to fight, but you are also an experienced general."
Liang Lidong shrugged: "You flatter me too much!"
Although Liang Lidong is a lord, in fact he really doesn't know how to fight. But at that time, he had several npc subordinates who were very good at war, so every time there was a war, he only had to let these subordinates deduce the battle situation in advance, and then he would execute the war strategy. Moreover, as a mediocre professional, although he is indeed slightly weak against players of the same level, in war, mediocre players have a great advantage, and the fighting style can adapt to changes. Most importantly, as a god In the middle and late stages, you will randomly get two military strategy specialties. To put it bluntly, it is the range aura, which can slightly enhance the strength of the surrounding friendly troops. These halo skills have little meaning when the number of people is small, but when the number of people is large, the effect is completely different.
A lord with good strength, who can fight on the front line, and who can be resurrected infinitely... For soldiers, there is nothing that can boost morale more than this. So Liang Lidong led troops to fight, as long as traps, tricks and other factors were ruled out, he would directly lead his troops and shoot them. High morale can be transformed into powerful combat power. Moreover, Liang Lidong also has a range of halo skills, so the combat power of his direct troops is extremely strong. His most proud battle is to lead two thousand cavalry directly to assault the opponent's 10,000-man formation. One impact directly cut through the opponent's formation, and the second impact killed the opponent's commander. Then the remaining few thousand people fled around like antelopes migrating on the grassland.
The mayor's wife sighed cutely: "Excessive self-effacement is not a good quality, it will only be called hypocrisy."
"But I really don't know how to fight." Liang Lidong spread his hands, also looking helpless.
The wife of the city lord gave Liang Lidong a blank look, then followed her husband into the mine, Liang Lidong followed closely behind. Because mining requires efficiency, the original narrow passage has been widened by at least six meters, and now more than a dozen people can walk side by side without appearing crowded. Many bare-armed peons came out of the cave with loads of gravel and soil, and dumped the waste at the entrance of the cave, and then the people waiting outside took it over and transported it to other places for dumping.
The three of them walked straight down, and soon Liang Lidong discovered that the mine tunnel had been divided into three, and along the way, a dark golden light could be seen looming on the stone wall of the tunnel. The gold content of this gold mine is higher than he imagined. No wonder the two guilds fight so hard in the game. If it is converted into real currency, hundreds of senior members of the two guilds can become multi-millionaires in minutes .
On the left side of the Sancha Road, there is a hollowed-out area, which looks like a basement. There are not only doors, but also tables and chairs, wall lamps, and an inner room. Liang Lidong feels that the inner room is , There must be a big bed and a washroom.
After the three of them entered, the city lord closed the door, and he sat down on the main seat, and then asked Liang Lidong to sit down, and said: "Please come down this time, I actually want to ask you to help find a way! We met Some troublesome things, after all, the gold mine is related to the interests of all of us, your Excellency should not only care about staying alone in the countryside to enjoy happiness."
"Well, I already guessed that such a thing will happen, please tell me." Liang Lidong sighed helplessly.
Uther tapped the table with his rough fingers and said: "Because the news that we are developing a gold mine here has spread, and now many forces are sending spies here. They usually don't show up during the day, but at night, the situation will be different." It's different, although the spies and scouts they sent are not too powerful, but the more times they come, our personnel begin to suffer losses, and besides, they can't sleep well every night, which has a negative impact on their morale. It was a big blow. And lack of sleep is a big problem. I can’t see what’s wrong for now, but I know very well that people who don’t rest well for a long time will become very irritable. I’m afraid it will lead to greater calamity."
People without thought, he must worry about. Uther's worry was very reasonable. Liang Lidong thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not too difficult... just set up a large magic defense array near here. Everything will be as usual during the day, and the magic array will be activated at night. Wouldn’t it be enough to leave some soldiers to watch the night in turn?”
"Build a magic circle like a castle?" Uther was a little embarrassed: "It will cost too much, and it will take a long time. Most importantly, we don't have enough spellcasters to set up a magic circle. Back then, our Longman family When I became the lord of the city, the royal family sent over a dozen spellcasters, and it took half a month to set up the magic circle."
The lady of the city lord said: "Since Your Excellency Beta suggested that we use the magic circle, there must be a way to shorten the time of the magic circle, right?"
"That's true." Liang Lidong said: "Your castle has set up a strategic large-scale magic circle, and I have built and arranged a medium-sized general-purpose magic circle. Although the protection effect is not as good as your castle's magic circle, it is not far behind. Where to go, the most important thing is that the production process of this magic circle is simple and does not require any materials, it only takes about 300 gold coins to complete."
Uther said with some excitement: "It seems that your Excellency is really proficient in all kinds of magic. Although my daughter has studied in the Red Magic Tower for several years, she has not learned any other magic knowledge except for various fire magic. Your Excellency Beta , then please help us set up the magic circle, and when things are done, we will be grateful."
"If I'm alone, the progress is a bit slow." Liang Lidong continued: "I hope Barbara can come to help, and it's best to call Karl's female student, although she is not strong, but one more person is always helpful It's multiple strengths."
Uther was a little worried: "Barbara doesn't seem to understand the knowledge of magic circles, I'm afraid she will hold you back."
Liang Lidong said: "It's okay, I can teach, Barbara is not stupid, she can learn well."
"Okay! That's it." Uther was a little excited, and now he has solved another troublesome thing. The most important thing is that the construction of a magic circle is a very advanced knowledge, and ordinary spellcasters have no chance to learn it. , Barbara followed Beta to build a magic circle, even if she couldn't learn it, she could at least lay a foundation.
Liang Lidong thought for a while and said, "I've been staying here with Barbara for the past few days, but if the two of us who have anti-assassin abilities leave, what will happen to the safety of your castle?"
"Strengthen the vigilance!" Uther shrugged: "Let the soldiers in the castle work in three shifts. Anyway, it only takes a few days for them to hold on. If it doesn't work, just open the magic circle under the castle and wait for a while. "
At this time, the closed door was opened, and the middle-aged butler walked over with a booklet in his hand and said, "City Master, the record book has been brought over."
Uther pointed: "Put it on the table."
At this time, another soldier walked in from outside the door, and he said anxiously: "City Master, just now a group of noble carriages came outside the city, they claimed to be special envoys of the royal family, and they are now heading towards the castle, and they probably have already arrived at the castle. "
Royal envoy? Uther was a little surprised. At this time, what are they doing in Dongfeng City, a border city that doesn't shit? Could it be that he also knew about the gold mine
